If it’s not quite fair to say that Obama’s legacy is death, it’s certainly fair to say that Obama is the extreme logical conclusion of policies that the Democrats have followed for years.

And “He came in peace,” isn’t just ironical now, it’s prophetical.

Because there is no peace, either at home or abroad, exactly as the Martian movies predicted there would be none, even especially when they said they came in peace.

Obama, as the epitome of the Left’s multiculturalism, anger, division and destruction, wages war here at home on wages and the workingman, while encouraging war overseas.

Both policies result in death, both figuratively and literally.

I fear that historians will look back at the Obama administration’s disfigurement of today’s labor force and point to this as the beginning of the end of the American workingman. And workingwoman too.

The incentives to hire workers are so few, the risks so high that more and more companies are figuring out how to replace workers with automation or do without them at all.

And in the place of working America, Obama is constructing an urban poverty state with the logical conclusion being places like Chicago and Detroit, with some areas in those cities being quite literally as uninhabitable as parts of Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq fighting a civil war.

And in failed city-states like Chicago the local newspapers count the death toll by day, and sometimes by the hour.

To pay for this perpetual poverty program which progressives call paradise, Obama has cut American commitments abroad, his critics say.

Poverty, it turns out, is a very expensive thing to maintain in the USA.
